•There should be more hospices like this one.

•I can only say ‘thank you’. My mom did not think she needed hospice, but I did. I needed your support and caring. You were able to lift some of my burden.

--Daughter and Caregiver

 

•Hospice of the Calumet Area was phenomenal in every way possible. We can not thank you enough for everything you did to help our mother. We still are all impressed with your love and caring. P.S. Your hugs are great and much appreciated.

•Having hospice was the smartest thing I ever did.

--Wife

 

•Hospice makes the whole family feel more confident to care for the patient. They are very loving and caring people.

--Daughter

 

•Thanks to all who made it possible for my uncle to stay in his home, with his wife for as long as possible – his ultimate wish. And, he made the decision to go to your hospice house– still in control, until 3 days before his death. None of which would have been possible without Hospice of the Calumet Area and the wonderful staff.

--Niece

 

•Hospice is wonderful. The nurses, chaplain, volunteers – everyone – are some of the nicest, most helpful people I’ve ever met.

I only wish I had learned about hospice sooner. I’ve informed my entire family and all my friends & basically anyone I speak to, how wonderful you all are. Thank you!

--Daughter

 

•We like the way death was treated as a natural, normal experience. My father-in-law was treated with respect, comfort & excellent care. He even got to visit with his dog one last time.

--Daughter-in-law

 

•The care you gave my mother went beyond my & my familiy’s expectations. Absolute angels! Thank you!

--Daughter

 

•My family and I couldn’t have been happier with the care our mom received from hospice. Every person involved was very loving, friendly and compassionate. I will highly recommend hospice service to others.

--Daughter

 

•I already know about and support the wonderful care that the Hospice of the Calumet Area gives to its patients & family members. My very good friends and their mother have told me about your tenderness and care you gave. They were so grateful for your support during a very difficult time. I know they will sing your praises, and show support for your efforts forever.
